3.1.06

Said Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch, the chief rabbi of the Western Wall, in response to muslim clerics alarmed by the excavations Israel is doing on the site of the mosque Al-Aqsa. He was referring o the fact that the first temple was jewish and that according to jewish faith there will be a third temple built on top of the mosque. His answer is quite ambiguous, does he intend to hide any Israeli responsibility in harming the mosque behind the will of God ? The site of the mosque was always a source of tensions between Palestinians and Israelis. Remember, it was the provocative march that Ariel Sharon did on the esplanade of Al-Aqsa in defiance of the regulations in september 2000 that started the second intifada ! And is Rabbi Rabinovitch implying that God is running a construction company now ?
